Midwest Gaming Classic 2012

[Tatsujin]

hell, i don't think you can be blamed for that on any charges. as I said, i don't get it at all how he couldn't find you guys without that important to the obey room invitation call or something. how old are we?

[BlueBMW]

I can be blamed since I think I might have been the only person with Mishrans phone number.  I dropped the ball... on my foot... and broke a toe.

[Mishran]

Either way, it doesn't matter. I think I'm going to stick with the local shows from now on anyway, though I have a whole year to change my mind. Had alot of fun and it was great to meet you guys in person. Had a blast in the arcade room and was glad I had an opportunity to play some Jungle Bros while there. Only spent a few minutes with MSR, but I can tell its going to be a game well worth the wait.

Here is what I walked away with.

MVS and RPGs I haven't had a chance to mess with, but the others are fun. Zipang is actually a rather good puzzle game, even though I never heard of it until the show. Wonder Momo is... different... with no better way to describe it. The Japanese MVS game is Samurai Shodown 4.

3 Count and World Heroes have the mini marquees and the World Heroes box also had these in it.

Blue paper is an explanation of the soft dip setting for the WH2 game.
Quite unexpected, but very welcome!

Blue, I had his number too.  I'm really not understanding why mishran would be upset.

We exchanged #s on Saturday. I called Mishran at 12:45 on Saturday asking if he wanted to join us, he said they were busy, and I said 'call me anytime to hang out sometime over the weekend.'  I never received a phone call back.  Color me confused.  That was the end of it as far as I can tell.  He had my number if he wanted to meet up somewhere or to find out if there was some after party activities.  And definitely knew where we were hanging out for a majority of the weekend.

I showed up with my kids on Friday at 1pm and we pretty much worked til 1am.  Then ran the museum with JD switching out consoles, carrying around TVs, climbing on things, crawling under things, and making sure the masses weren't screwing with our personal gaming collections all weekend, that is till we finally left the hotel at 8pm on Sunday.

Also, just for the record, not everyone was at beemer's pad gaming, mostly just the people that were staying there rather than getting a hotel for the weekend.

Or getting rides to the airport.

Don't feel too bad Mish', I got left at the hotel on Saturday...I missed my window to get a ride. I could have got up on Friday with the PCEFX crew but I hung out with another buddy that only had that evening free.

I'm totally down with the pre-con Thurs/Fri thing next year. I'd take Friday off from work.

Or those of us who only came up for one day.

Or left earlier Sunday :\

Besides out of the 5 people there, 2 were already staying there (BM, and elabit), 2 were a couple (Mathius/Ash)....and well yeah there was majors  

[Mathius]

Sorry about that, Mish. I knew you guys had to cut out at 3 am Monday morning, and we didn't see you back at the DHG Room after the show so I figured you two went off to where you were staying. These guys here are the nicest bunch you'll ever meet. Everyone would have been welcome.

[Tatsujin]

Right, even i was.. virtually

[Mishran]

The idea of not going isn't the problem. The wife wanted to go exploring some more, but I wanted to stay close to the hotel waiting for a call that never came. She was more upset than I was/am. She knew I'd never get a call, but I put more faith in the situation. Again, it's done and over with. I'm going to personally drop the conversation about it nowm, because it finished.

[Bernie]

Sounds like just a simple miscommunication. 

[Mathius]

Sounds like just a simple miscommunication. 

Yeah it was unfortunately.

I just don't get all the pessimism/negativity...especially from your old lady that knows us (and out intentions) even less than most.  I mean I only had BM's #, and elabits (as I got him from the airport)...and think I called/texted anyone like twice all weekend (end of day to find out where BM was so we could go back to the condo).  Most of us wandered around to find people for lunches, etc. before a phone was ever used.  Hell you were pretty ghost all weekend until a good chunk of the way thru Sunday...all part of the show man.  Most of us were out and about all weekend.

Well I don't think her feelings are personal. More like you guys not personally knowing me so don't expect open arms. Same as someone knocking on your front door and asking if they can come in. Would you let a stranger just come into your home? Likely not. There is, again, no negative feelings here. Just a few lost hours, nothing more.
